~SAYING GOODBYE~

So soft

the brief touch of your lips

on my cheek.

Was I almost intruding?

"Look after yourself "should have been

"I love you!"

Then the Jumbo flew

overmy head

and I shouted

my love

above the roar

and thundering thrust. . .

as if you'd hear.

Through the clouds in my eyes

I watched you fly away

and wished

I'd been born with wings.
